Art I

Students begin with exploration of basic drawing principles such as space, value, line, form and perspective utilizing pencils, charcoal, and pen and ink.  Projects include grid, contour line and still life drawings.  Color and design principles are emphasized the second semester with challenging projects including linoleum block printing, color studies and painting.  Students will complete the year with a portfolio of unique projects and a clear concept of the importance and value of art, color and design in our daily lives.  The instructor emphasizes that this class is not just for those students who consider themselves artists or "talented," but for anyone who is interested in learning about art.  This is an approved "VPA" course.

Studio Art.

Studio Art is a demanding, college preparatory class specifically for the advanced artist.  It is treated primarily as a studio workshop; students are expected to be self-motivated and to do high quality work.  Mediums may include acrylic, watercolor, oil paint, prisma colors, pastels, intaglio, silkscreen silversmithing, stained glass and ceramics, among others.  Students will also study artists and their techniques.  At the end of the year, all students will have completed a portfolio of work and will have completed their own art book- the coveted Design Log.  Because of the changing nature of this class, it may be repeated three times for full credit each time.  Studio Art is an approved "VPA" course.

Advanced placement credit may be given to those students who complete and pass the AP General Portfolio review in their senior year.  Instructor permission is required.
